$27.40
Cupid Mixture Dwarf Sweet Pea is a charming, compact variety of Lathyrus odoratus that brings a rainbow of colors to small spaces. This mix produces short vines covered with fragrant flowers in shades of pink, purple, blue, red, and white. Its dwarf habit makes it perfect for borders, containers, hanging baskets, or as a fragrant ground cover in cottage gardens. The blooms are excellent for cutting and attract pollinators, adding both beauty and scent to the garden.
Easy to grow from seed, Cupid Mixture is a favorite for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, colorful annual. The plants are bushy and self-supporting, reaching about 12-18 inches tall, so they don't require tall trellises. Enjoy a long blooming season from early summer through fall.

Planting & Care
Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks earlier for an early start. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 10-21 days. Once seedlings are established, water regularly, especially during dry spells. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas benefit from a light application of balanced fertilizer once a month.
Provide a small trellis or support if growing in windy areas, though the dwarf habit usually stands alone. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. With minimal care, Cupid Mixture will reward you with a profusion of colorful, fragrant blooms.
